ESCONDIDO: Adopt a pet for less in October

The Escondido Humane Society will continue its ASPCA $100K Challenge campaign by reducing adoption fees in October. The challenge is part of a nationwide competition for animal shelters to get more animals adopted or returned to their owners. Adoption fee is $25 for all dogs, cats and bunnies, and includes spay/neuter, microchip with lifetime registration, vaccinations, dog licensing (Escondido, San Marcos and Poway areas only), veterinary exam at EHS, wellness exam after adoption, sample bag of food, discounts at local pet supply, grooming and boarding partners, and behavior support for dogs and cats for the animal's lifetime. The Escondido Humane Society Adoption Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 3450 E. Valley Parkway. Visit escondidohumanesociety.org or call 760-888-2247.
